"Some knowledge in it is too dangerous, and some knowledge itself is a trap. In my notebook, I marked the knowledge you can learn, the knowledge you can use for reference, the knowledge that can only be used as long-sighted knowledge, and the knowledge that is best not to read. As long as you study according to the suggestions I gave you, there shouldn’t be any problems. Of course, if you have any problems, you should go to me in time, or use your night watchman] to test yourself.” Lanna

The doctor said very seriously.

"Thank you very much, doctor."

Xia De put the big book and notebook on the bedside:

"Let me ask you in private, are you ready for the academy's investigation?"

Among them, Xia De is most worried about Dr. Schneider. After all, as long as Priest Augustus’s angelic power is not used, he can’t see it at all. Even the guardians can’t notice Luvia’s problem. The soul connection of the doctor is very hidden, only the doctor continues to use the power of the devil, and even because of Xia De's relationship, he is more and more involved with the devil.

"Don't worry, demons are best at disguising and deceiving. Although I am not a demon, don't underestimate me. Regardless of luck, I have always been very reliable."

The doctor said confidently, stood up and picked up his hat to say goodbye:

"I remember you mentioned that the librarian, Ms. Dennister, gave you a very difficult thaumaturgy learning test. Don't forget this, the moon with the wind, there are not many days left."

"Dreams of the Thaumaturgical Moon."

Xia De closed his eyes and sighed. When he opened his eyes again, the doctor's footsteps had already appeared downstairs.

After the doctor left, the house fell into silence. Xia De flipped through the book of demons for a while. At around 5:30, Miss Galina returned from the Yodel Palace with the maids and began to prepare for Xia De. De prepare dinner.

Although today is Saturday, both Dorothy and Rezia are unable to come. The witch is in charge of taking care of the "seriously ill" Xia De tonight.

Before the meeting this afternoon, Xia De still felt a little dizzy in his head, but after sending everyone away at sunset, the abnormal feeling in his body completely disappeared. After not going out for many days, he proposed to Miss Galina that he wanted to go out for a walk and eat in a restaurant outside.

"This is not allowed, Luvia Anat told you that you can only go out on Monday. If I let you out now, what will they think of me?"

The Duchess spoke righteously to the young knight in pajamas, and then saw Xia De showing a regretful expression, then bent down and picked up the cat at his feet, and walked back to the bedroom a little lonely.

Although she knew that Xia De did it on purpose, she still softened her heart a bit:

"It's not that I don't let you go out, we care about your health."

Xia De heard the wavering in her tone, so he carried Mia and performed backflips and splits in the air, and finally made the witch reluctantly agree to his request.

In fact, Miss Galina hoped that Xia De would follow her to the manor for dinner. As good as the restaurants on Silver Cross Avenue might be, they were not as good as the Duke's personal cook. But now it was evening, and the Witch didn't want Shad to make a "long-distance" trip, so they ended up going to Silver Cross Avenue.

Of course, even if you don't make an appointment in advance, as the most powerful duchess in the kingdom, you don't have to worry about not getting the seat you want.

After tidying up, after nearly two weeks, the seriously ill Xia De finally stepped out of the house again. roundabout

It was already dusk, and the last ray of the early spring sunset had not yet disappeared on the edge of the roof on the west side of the Saint Teresa Square.

There is not a very dense flow of people, walking through the square during off-duty time. In the middle of the square, there is still no water flowing from the mouth of the statue of a girl holding a water bottle. The young priest sent by the church to distribute the leaflets held the boy who sold the newspaper and bent over to say something. The laborers pushing the wheelbarrow carefully huddled their bodies and walked along the edge of the square to the southeast of Xia De's house, the house with scaffolding outside.

"Neighbors there, do you want to take advantage of the spring to decorate the house?"

It was another ordinary evening, in the foggy city, as if nothing had changed since winter. But Xia De, who was standing on the steps of the door, already felt the warmth in the wind.

Although he was convalescing, he could judge the warming of the weather by the plants Luvia kept on the windowsill. But between opening the door back and forth, he seemed to miss a whole season of melancholy, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The cat held in Shad's arms, the cat fur on its body reflected the brilliance of the setting sun. His big, piercing amber eyes stared at the group of pigeons in the square. Although Mia is not aggressive towards the pigeons, she always likes to stare at the pigeons as they walk around.

"What are you sighing for?"

Miss Galina, who was following Xia De, asked, not paying attention to the gazes of people passing by. In a neighborhood like Saint Teresa Square, there are quite a few citizens who can recognize the Duchess.

"I'm worried I've missed spring."

"What nonsense, my knight, spring has only just begun."

Xia De originally thought that Tifa, who was dispatched by Miss Galina in advance, just reserved a private room for them, or a table in a corner, but he didn't expect that after arriving at the "Finsney and Clodiat Restaurant" in the south of Silver Cross Avenue, Only then did Xia De discover that she had reserved the entire second floor.

There is a large terrace on the second floor of the restaurant. From the terrace, you can not only look at the Silver Cross Avenue outlined by street lights, but you can even see the windows of the buildings in front of the Yoddle Palace, as well as the windows of the Kingdom Council next to the Yoddle Palace. Chamber windows.

Seeing that Xia De's health is really fine, so this time the "date" dinner will be held on the terrace. On the terrace where four tables could have been placed, only one square table was placed tonight. A clean white tablecloth was spread on the table, and the gold candlesticks on the tablecloth, the expensive china plates, and the silverware were brought from the manor by Tifa and the maids—Miss Galina seldom used outside tableware. .

The Duchess's long hair was braided into dozens of small braids and hung behind her head. When Xia De bowed her head to eat, she tilted her head slightly to look at the brightly lit street even at night. roundabout

"looking at what?"

Xia De asked with a smile, so the witch turned her head and looked at the handsome face opposite under the candlelight. Although there are clouds in the night sky tonight, the moonlight can still shine on the ground. Even though the lights symbolizing the civilization of the human steam age made the moonlight thinner, there still seemed to be faint traces of silver light on Xia De's body:

"I'm thinking, this moment is really peaceful. And two weeks ago, we were still going through so many things in the Randall Valley. If, I mean if, you didn't make that decision at that time, and the Orthodox Church The **** summoning ceremony is also a step late, so we may be doing something now."

Xia De shook his head, put down the knife and fork, thanked softly, took the napkin from the brown-haired maid behind him and wiped his mouth:

"That's just an 'if,' we've done so much to prevent those things from happening?"

"I'm worried. After this incident, the speaker revealed some very bad news to us."

The witch said hesitantly, and Tifa behind her bent slightly, and poured the jewel-like red wine into the empty wine glass. It's Shade's "blood wine" made from grapes, Miss Galina likes it: Lan

"Your Excellency the Speaker said some uncertain things. I always feel that she wants to tell us, um... doomsday, cataclysm or something like that."

Xia De showed a smile. At the beginning, this matter was only the speculation of the more sensitive ring magician groups such as the Guiding Light Priory] and the Spiritual Order], but now more and more ring magicians are finally aware of it.

"I know about the doomsday, but that's just speculation, and I don't know when."

The red-haired duchess nodded slightly, and held up the wine glass with a hand painted with red nail polish, shaking it slightly but not drinking:

"If the end is really here, then the number of times I eat with you like this can already be counted down?"

Xia De put down the napkin, and asked the maid ~lightnovelpub.net~ who came with the dining car to put on another dish for him. He stroked Mia on the high stool:

"This is the idea of ​​a pessimist." Lan

"What do the optimists think?"

Looking at Xia De with golden eyes, Xia De thought for a while:

"I don't know what the optimists think. My own thinking is that there is always a way."

Galina Cavendish smiled lightly, and asked the maid to serve the next dish for herself. She looked up at the night sky, at the few stars behind the clouds and mist. Candlelight and the light of gas lamps on the street made the face with layers of shadows appear more mysterious and attractive, and the witch did not hesitate to show her charm to the man in front of her:

"Such a night is really like a dream. When I was a child, I also imagined how I would spend those boring nights when I was an adult. This is already better than I imagined."

Xia De nodded slowly:

"According to the aristocratic social rules and metaphors I heard from Leiziya, should I invite you to stay at my house now?" Lane

"According to social rules, you shouldn't mention other girls now, even if she is my grandniece."

Miss Galina smiled and sipped the cup in her hand, a little blush appeared on her face.

Xia De felt something rubbing against his legs under the table, which reminded him of the times he had been hit during lunch today.

"Since that miraculous night, when the knight brought five treasures to the duchess he was loyal to, he never contacted the beautiful duke again."

The beautiful lady, who was frustrated by her lover's neglect, lamented under the moon.

This time, Xia De has no possibility of snatching other people's shoes. The great witch, who had learned the lesson from the incident at noon, took off her shoes and stretched out her feet this time.
